Noxidil is an antihypertensive which is used to treat high blood pressure. It is also used in topical form to treat hair loss. Side effects of this medication can include thickening, lengthening, and increased pigmentation of the body hair. Other side effects can include pericarditis, pericardial effusion, and severe nausea and vomiting.

Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks.
